Our original logic on teaching football is like following a single track which has lack of flexibility, whereas the English way of teaching is interactive and it's like following a dual carriage way allowing flexibility and creativity. This can allow students to fully enjoy the happy experience of football. Unfortunately, our traditional way of teaching football is very prone to causing students feeling anxious and bored of the sport and therefore it is ineffective and it will therefore be harder to teach them.
